In her diary, Virginia Woolf wrote that Ivy Compton-Burnett's writing was far superior to her own in its expressions of truth, and in its originality. Ivy Compton Burnett's own tragic experiences of family life provided some of the material she drew on as a novelist. Her books are about money, power, status, incest, adultery, murder, homosexuality, about which she was years ahead of her time, and all the passions and stresses of family life, described with brilliant wit and perception. ***Apart from her first novel, "Dolores", her novels involve psychological exploration of small-scale power-abuse and persecution, human weaknesses, dysfunctional families and their internal power struggles in large Edwardian houses. Her fiction revolves around dialogue, sometimes epigrammatic. Important information can be subtle, stated by a character in a half-sentence. Her use of punctuation is minimal: no colons or semi-colons, no exclamation marks or italics; this is deliberate, and helps to create the unique claustrophobic literary fictional world of Ivy Compton-Burnett. (Wiki) ***"Her novels are conceived on the same moral and intellectual level as those of Henry James." -' Edward Sackville-West in Horizon (Review quote taken from the front panel of "A House and Its Head") ***First impression of the true first edition, in its original 1960s dustwrapper in very nice condition. ***For all our books, postage is charged at cost, allowing for packaging: any shipping rates indicated on ABE are an average only: we will reduce the P & P charge where appropriate - please contact us for postal rates for heavier books and sets etc.
